Except it is true.
If you ask me, the meaning of "Christmas" was already "tampered" with when the Christians adopted the pagan Winter Solstice.
Now though Capitalism has almost taken over Christmas.
I don't know what else to say...
Has this incident happened in previous years? I mean, the USA is one big place with 300+ million people and growing.
i don't like govt intrusion and regulation, because their are already probably laws on the books against inciting riots, blah blah, but i don't won't or let my family participate in this perversion. we should be holding families accountable for this, a known potentially harmful and dangerous environment....we don't let people run red lights either i'm sure stores will be addressing their security and camera placement, and putting limits on this.
life is priceless.....no it's not, because that man was killed to save perhaps less than $100 dollars.
our society expects violence, its a game us adults pander to, remember cabbage patch dolls, beanie baby mayhem years ago. we are animals, when we allow ourselves to be.
Christmas should include compassion and even Jesus whiped the money changers out of the temple, we have made Christmas a celebration of excess.
for me and my family we won't
Nobody thought of helping the Walmart employee back to their feet?? Another example of our country's moral collapse...
It was probably like a wave of people, the only time you noticed him was when you were on top of him, and then the crowd behind you pushed you past the point where you could help him.
On the up side, this means maybe the economy isn't as bad as people were saying - people are still shopping.

I saw the video taken of them trying to revive him, he was probably over 6 feet tall and 275-300 pounds. You'd notice him. But I have been to a few concerts where anything's possible. I recall the mosh pit days when who ever knocked you on the floor, they came over and helped you up.

"Alright Jerome, open the doors!"

Sorry, I know it is a tragedy, but I can't help but laugh at the stupidity of it all. One time I decided to do the black friday thing, but that is when I was a poor-ass student. Never again. The discounts aren't even that good to begin with and anything worth buying isn't on discount.
absolutely nuts. i've never wanted something so bad that will make me want kill someone.
I have, but she wasn't a fucking TV.
